occupied for a decade. He died 7 June
1884 in New York.
The prominent New York newspaper editor, James
Watson Webb, was born in Claverack, New York, in February 1802. Orphaned at an
early age, he was placed under the guardianship of his brother-in-law, and
schooled for a time at Cooperstown. When he was seventeen, Webb appeared in
Washington, D.C., with a letter of introduction to Secretary of War John C.
Calhoun. Joining the army, he was given a commission as second lieutenant.
Mostly stationed in the western region of Illinois and Minnesota, he found in
the adventure and danger of the military an outlet for his impulsive
temperament. He fought two duels with fellow officers, and came close to many
others, before he resigned from the army in 1827.
Webb then headed for New York City, where he soon
achieved fame as a journalist. He bought the Morning Courier, and in 1829,
acquired and merged it with the New-York Enquirer. He remained editor and
proprietor of the Morning Courier and Enquirer until l 1861, when he sold the
paper and retired. Highly partisan and emotional, Webb was frequently involved
in controversy and quarrels. In an age of personal journalism, his competitive
and brash qualities made him among the most influential editors in the country.
At first a Jacksonian, Webb abandoned Andrew Jackson
for the Whig party during the Bank War. In the 1850s, he joined the Republican
party. A staunch unionist, he was appointed by Lincoln as minister to Brazil,
where he served throughout the Civil War. He left the diplomatic service in
1869, traveled for two years in Europe, and then retired to New York, where he
mostly lived until his death in 1884.

While living in the state of Georgia, he joined a volunteer Company of ‘Light
Horse’ for which he was to provide his own mount, and they were ordered to
march in July 1812. 13 August 1813 they left Milledgeville, Georgia for Fort Hawkins, where they arrived in 15
August. The next day they crossed the
Okmulgee River, and were joined by troops from Washington County commanded by
Captain Erwin. In time the army
consolidated itself at the point of rendezvous called Camp Hope. He was soon taken sick while in the
vicinity, and was unfit for duty. He
was taken care of by the surgeon, Dr. Lee and was discharged and sent
home. After his recovery, in January,
the following year, he purchased another horse and joined Captain Steels’s
Troop of Horse (Cavalry); they were stationed in Twiggs County. They marched to Fort Mitchell, with the

He was an unrepentant slave owner
until the Civil War. Although he
considered himself a ‘Union Man’, he supported his state and gave large sums to
the Confederate cause, eventually losing virtually everything he owned. His thrift and energy allowed him to recover
and his family lived comfortably until his death 19 August 1870.
